@@Blandina11 both true and not true. If you listen to Vince Clarke talk about dealing with old synths and sequencers and such (as he regularly does on "The Synthesizer Show") he'll often mention fighting against lags and problems with midi timing on different synths. It wasn't trivial, and likely an old Moog might have been able to do some of this track, and then it would probably go out of tune (and it wouldn't be exactly the same -- each synth had its own quirks and abilities). Old analog synths and early digital ones were not easy things to deal with. Part of the joy of this music is knowing how much effort went into putting tracks like this together.

Kraftwerk started in the ‘70’s and were so nerdy but they definitely were pioneers that brought about the New Wave of the ‘80’s. Then folks started sampling their music when they got there. Very strange mash ups as Kraftwerk was unique and a bit on the esoteric side. It’s funny. I did love Radioactivity and Europe Endless.

Re "How did they come up with the sounds? The producers...?" Like coding or gaming nerds today, back then there was a big synth nerd-dom (a lot these same folks went off to help launch the computer revolution). They spent hours and hours and hours experimenting with sounds and technology, Yamaha and Moog is what I remember these guys talking about the most. These were the guys whose basements were just wires and tech dens, but for music not for gaming or coding. This is where all those sounds came from.

This is something that a lot of people, even those who were around back then, don't really get. Synth driven bands spent so much time a creative energy developing patches and experimenting with sounds and textures before they could even lay down their tracks. It's one of the reasons why guys like Vince Clarke, Nick Rhodes (Duran Duran), Martin Gore and Andrew Wilder (Depeche Mode), Thomas Dolby, Paul Humphreys (OMD), and so many others are rightly revered. Even when commercial synths started to come preloaded with tons of patches, these guys were always tweaking and modifying. They were also the first to seize on the utility of commercial sampling keyboards like the Emulator. Reactors to "West End Girls" always joke about how Chris Lowe stands behind Neil Tennant and doesn't do anything; it's because he's exhausted from programming all those sweet patches on "Actually".

I'm 52 and I got to see Depeche Mode in concert, New Order, The Eurythmics, Erasure, OMD (Orchestral Maneuvers in the Dark)...the 80's had a lot of beautiful oddness but the music and the wild fashion was priceless.

This is one of my favorite dance songs from the 80s. We loved going to the bars and dancing to this. I still have my 12 inch vinyl disc. Thanks for posting this on (David's) Birthday.

Met Alison Moyet once, I worked at Cardiff Airport (about 1985/6) and she was coming down the concourse steps towards me, place was empty at 7am, just her entourage in the bar area.........this takes me back!

A fantastic but short-lived group. Definitely worth checking out more of them! Alison's solo career is well worth checking out too. Lots of hits, some amazing songs and... that VOICE! :) One of the greatest voices of her generation. Arguably ever! :)

Alison was one of my 80s favourite. Synth pop was so exiting back then. Alison as a solo svinger. She got many hits.

"Is This Love?" by Alison Moyet is worth a listen. She has had an entire career on her own since the early 80s and is still going.

This was definitely played in the clubs back in the day. "Don't Go" was as well - another banger from the 'Upstairs at Eric's" album. Alison has a solo career after Yaz that is still going. Ode To Boy II is another upbeat fave. I'm glad you are discovering Alison's amazing voice!

I'm from the 80s and I listen to her all the time. Here in the US her voice wasn't popular like in Europe. The voice is incredible wish she was noticed more for that wonderful voice.

I love Alison’s version of “Weak in the Presence of Beauty”!!

If you only knew how many artists have sampled elements of this song, including Alison’s laugh, over the years - your mind would be blown. They were a band for only about a year and only made two albums, but they are one of the most influential groups ever.

Well, if you listen to Alex F from Harold Faltermeyer, which actually was written for Beverly Hills Cop, you'll get that it's a total replica of this song, with a different lead melody. ;)

My favourite Yazoo track. I got in to this 80s electro stuff about 10 years ago. Depeche Mode, The Human League, Heaven 17, OMD all worth a listen.

Until you hear this at full max volume, in a big club or better a warehouse, you have not felt this song. The echo's and vibrations of this song are mad crazy!! Some songs go to another level at big volume and this is one of them.

It does my heart good to see a younger person discover some of the best music ever. The 80's was my time when I was younger. I listen to and love all generations and genres of music. I have made this statement before that there was a massive paradigm shift that peaked in 1983. Everything leading up to that and soon after is the time in history that I am referring to. It is the center point of the shift world wide. 10 years before and ten years after is the greatest collection of the greatest numbers of artists and experimental types and genres of music. There was more music written and released in that time slot than any time in history. I hope more people begin to seek out real music from one of the greatest periods in music. I am an amateur historian. The only thing that comes anywhere close would be during the period of big band and swing music. Mowtown music is given more publicity but does not compare in the overall amount of music and genres involved in the time period. I am talking world wide not just America. Look at what was going on in Europe also in the same time frame from 1973 to 1993 with 1983 being the peak year in the shift. It was a great time to be young and alive.

There were a lot of good songs in the 80s but this ranks right up there at the top. From the first beat to the last.

Vince Clark is a genius, he is the platform that initiated house music with all the code he wrote starting with DM. The rest is history, I remember hearing his stuff in clubs all over in all the clubs and radio stations.
